One of the most promising sources of renewable energy is solar power. Solar panels, whichconvert sunlight into electricity, are becoming more efficient and less expensive. This has led to a significant increase in the installation of solar panels worldwide.In the United States, for example, the number of residential solar installations has tripled in the past decade. This growth is not only driven by environmental concerns but also by economic factors. As the cost of solar panels continues to drop, more homeowners are finding it financially viable to install them on their rooftops. Additionally, many governments offer incentives such as tax credits and rebates to encourage the adoption of solar energy.However, solar power is not without its challenges. The efficiency of solar panels can be affected by weather conditions and geographical location. In areas with less sunlight, such as some parts of the northern United States, the efficiency of solar panels is lower. Furthermore, solar power is intermittent, meaning it is not always available when it is needed. To overcome this, many solar power systems are connected to the electrical grid, allowing them to store excess energy and draw from the grid when needed.Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of solar power are significant. Not only does it reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it also promotes energy independence and can help to stabilize electricity prices. As technology continues to improve and costs decrease, it is likely that solar power will play an even larger role in the future of energy.Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage?A) To discuss the economic benefits of solar panels.B) To explain the challenges of solar power.C) To describe the growth of solar installations in the United States.D) To argue for the adoption of solar power as a renewable energy source.2.According to the passage, what are two reasons for the increase in residential solar installations in the United States?A) The governm ent’s incentives and the increasing efficiency of solar panels.B) The decrease in the cost of solar panels and the need for energy independence.C) The growing environmental concerns and the desire for stable electricity prices.D) The government’s incent ives and the desire for energy independence.3.What is one of the challenges mentioned in the passage that affects the efficiency of solar panels?A) The cost of solar panels.B) The geographical location.C) The need for energy independence.D) The efficiency of the electrical grid.Answers:1.D2.A3.B三、完型填空（15分）Section Three: Cloze TestDirections: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer for each blank.
